Cassels Brock LLP supports Mining Finance Internship
December 05, 2012
A gift of $30,000 from Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP will renew the Cassels Brock & Blackwell International Internship in Mining Finance for the next three years.
This unique internship provides an opportunity for a first-year law student to intern at the head office of global mining company.
The student receives a stipend of $10,000, thanks to the firm’s generous support.
“Western Law is very appreciative of the continuing and generous support Cassels Brock has given us over the years to help build a top-tier mining law program that includes this internship opportunity,” says Dean W. Iain Scott.
Western Law student Daniel Stober was awarded the summer internship in 2012 and worked at Goldcorp Inc., one of the world's fastest growing senior gold producers.
Headquartered in Vancouver, B.C. Goldcorp is a Canadian company that employs more than 16,000 people worldwide.
During his time at Goldcorp, Stober performed a wide range of responsibilities for both the regulatory affairs department and the legal department.
“I quickly learned that
the legal needs of a mining company are broad and encompass many different
areas of law, including real estate, environmental, international and corporate
law and I gained experience in all these different areas,” says Stober.
“The mining finance Internship at Goldcorp Inc. was a unique
opportunity to gain hands-on, practical legal experience at one of Canada’s
most successful companies,” Stober says. “It was a terrific experience and the
skills I developed in the internship will serve me well in my future legal
career.”
